“Please join your tele-health virtual visit at least fifteen minutes before your appointment time, and stare blankly at the screen, on the one-in-ten-thousand chance that we’re running ahead of schedule. Your time is not just worthless to us; we’d prefer to waste it for no reason.”

Two minutes late? Sorry, you'll have to reschedule a new appointment months from now.
Doctor twenty minutes late? Please hold...
@HeliosPi @CoolerPseudonym Exactly. I worked at a hospital for about 8 months in scheduling. I knew not to take patient anger personally, but the way they got fucked around was causing me to experience a kind of depression that made me leave that job as soon as I could.

Very understandable. Yeah, same vice-versa since its not the individuals' faults on the other end that the system is broken.
